Insanity reigns in the UN mad-house.

It may have escaped your notice
but the world went completely insane in the last week of November.

In the wake of the Paris Islamic
outrages that left over 130 killed and more than 300 badly injured, after the
carnage in a Mali hotel, following the downing of Russian passenger and fighter
planes over Sinai and Syria, and the never-ending mayhem in the Middle East
with its consequential million plus refugees desperately trying to find shelter
in a Europe and America that are locking their doors, the United Nations
continued its blind hatred of Israel by passing another SIX resolutions
condemning the Jewish state for all sort of alleged misdemeanors. No other
country was sanctioned, only Israel.

The depravity of their anti-Israel
decision-making was encapsulated in one resolution that “Determines once
more that the continued occupation of the Syrian Golan and its de facto
annexation constitute a stumbling block in the way of achieving a just,
comprehensive and lasting peace in the region.”

They are not only blindly
ill-informed at the UN, they are certifiably insane.

Someone needs to knock on their
door and tell them about Islamic State, Al-Nusrah, the slaughter of Christians,
Muslims, Yazidis and Kurds by international meddlers but mostly by the
murderous Assad regime.

If there is anywhere on the Syrian
border where peace and justice reigns, it is Israel’s presence on the Golan
Heights.

If the immorality of these
resolutions wasn’t bad enough, not one European nation voted against the Syria-
Golan-peace resolution. Not one!

So, while the world is going to
hell in a hand-basket, according to the UN it is Israel maintaining a peaceful
Golan that is driving them there, and liberal democratic Europe is their
navigator.

The United Nations has become the
mad-house of international diplomacy and its inmates keep proving, over and
over again, that they are certifiably insane.
